asking? Knocking?

"how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"  (Luke 11:13b)

Do you ask questions?  I love to ask questions!  I am frequently starting conversations (like this one) with questions.  In most cases I am really trying to understand.  Or I might be trying to learn something new.  OR...... the teacher in me might​ be trying to get the person (people) I'm talking to to think.  Get them to make sure they have thought of, worked through and are ready to move on - knock on the new door. (Luke 11:9)

The readings today are about thinking through and moving on.  In Genesis we are reminded of God's promise and can think about God keeping God's promises every time we see a rainbow.  (Genesis 9:13)  Peter is reminding all of us how "this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also."  (1 Peter 3:21)  In the gospel reading Jesus is speaking to a group asking them to stop and think and remember God's gift of the Holy Spirit. (13:b)  He does it by asking questions.

So.........  Do you ask questions - maybe even of yourself?  Do you stop to think things through?  I know as Caregivers we do have a LOT of questions, sometimes, but are we thinking through and asking them?  Are we ready to "knock" on the door of the next step?  Something to think about......
